Twilight Ch 8

Chapter

Alaric came to my house to pick me up

1/5 

As soon as I got in the car, he pulled me over and held me on his lap

He held me tightly, buried his head in my neck, and pleaded with a trembling voice. Don’t believe him, not a single word.” 

Okay,I patted his back and replied briefly, I only trust you.” 

Alaric lifted his head, tears clinging to his eyelashes

With my guidance, he learned to let his walls down

– 

Whether he was hurt, sad, whatever he actually told me now instead of playing mute

He pleaded, Justdon’t see him anymore, okay? Today’s too hard for me

When you didn’t pick upI thought my heart would stop” 

Don’t talk like that.I covered his mouth. You’re stuck with me till we’re old and gray.” 

That threw him off his pity party. He just stared at me, lost

I messed up his hair, grinning, If you don’t want me seeing him

Chapter

I won’t. Only reached out for your sake anyway

Babe, you golla stop doubling yourself.” 

2/5 

I grabbed his hand. Screw what others think. I trust what I see, what I hear, and what comes out of your mouth

You’re amazing, honey. Stop selling yourself short.” 

Alaric’s got major trust issues

Don’t know what fucked him up, but it turned him into this shy, broken thing. Especially with love like a lost puppy who thought he didn’t deserve it

These days, I showered him with compliments. His looks, his brains, his success, even his manicure I call it all perfect

Confidence was the only way to kill that fear

I wanted him actually enjoy this relationship. Not walking on eggshells, trying to read my mind or bend over backwards to make me happy. That made no sense

Listen up, I can think for myself. Other people’s bullshit won’t change how I see you.” 

I wrapped myself around him

I picked you, didn’t I? That means you get the real me no games, no ghosting

Chapter

3/5 

Besides, you’re way too good to give up. I’d be an idiot to let someone else snag you.” 

His eyes lit up

He’s got warmth now, life. Not just some empty shell waiting to 

crumble

Guess I left my mark on him after all

I could probably guess that Alaric’s upbringing caused him a lot of pain

But when he held me and started sharing his past, I was still a bit surprised

He hated me for coming between him and his mom, always hoping I’d die early.” 

From the moment he was born, his father wanted him gone

How could such a parentchild relationship exist

My heart ached, and I tightly held his hand in return

But your mother loves you.” 

She doesn’t.” 

Alaric smile bitterly as he said, She’s just tied down by blood.” 

She’s different from you. Though she’s a welleducated woman

Chapter

4/5 

deep down she adheres to the traditional belief of supporting her husband and raising children.” 

My birth made her rebellion seem ridiculous. Her sense of 

morality stopped her from abandoning me, but raising me alone made it hard to maintain a decent life.” 

In the end, she could only bow to reality.” 

His voice shook, eyes going red, glazed with tears like a rainsoaked window

Seeing him broken like this hurt

Their mess isn’t yours. You broke that curse already.” 

I pressed my cheek to his chest. You’ve done enough to make anyone proud. Even your mom.” 

His smile was all pain

His hand brushed my hair. You’re the only one who thinks I deserve love.” 

So don’t leave me.” 

His arms tightened desperately, chin buried in my 

If you don’t want meI’ll shatter.”
